Re: Immigration experience before sailing

Thank you for replying. I did some research and found it on Amazon. Yes, it is a little expensive.

Re: "Imported Americans". I saw that it is available on the books.familyorg. site

Re: Ancestry site

Livio,
Thank you for explaining this. I would never have picked this up without your explanation and also the name of the Godmother.

This is a true lesson on the need to learn how to interpret the Church records correctly.

I wish you and your family and every on this site a Buon Natale.

Re: Ancestry site

My Nicolina Cicio was born October 1873. The 2nd Maria you mention is a sister. Antonino Spitalere was married to Nicolina's sister and is a brother-in-law. I must have missed noticing Guiseppa DiChiara on the manifest and will have to do some research on that name and will also have to check the 1s...

Ancestry site

Does anyone know if Ancestry.it has the same records as the U.S. site? I am looking for Nicolina Cicio from Campofiorito who came between 1900 and 1905.
I have been searching for years and can't find her.

Re: your post below- You have a link to Family Search. How did you get the complete link address with the numbers?
I use the Family Search site and have been refering to the that, city, church and Image numbers.

I don't have the record on my computer but can do it off a floppy disk. Is the Family Safe button on my computer or is it on the postimage site? Yes, I am still in the ...

How to download a record to this forum

I have seen messages with instructions on how to download a record (from Photobucket or other images) to this forum for interpretation.
Can someone post those instructions again?

Thank you
